You're invited to Easy Weddings Evolve 2024, this year's premier wedding industry education and networking event, held at voco Brisbane City Central's Grand Chelsea Ballroom.
We're returning to Brisbane after last year's sensational multi-city roadshow, to bring the Easy Weddings and Venue Crew teams together with venues and suppliers for a FREE and fun afternoon of learning and networking to help the industry thrive in a changing market.
This isn't a sales pitch. Evolve is an obligation-free afternoon of business insights especially for wedding professionals to scale up their business — whether you are a current partner of Easy Weddings/Venue Crew or are yet to join our platform.
Evolve Presents: Embracing a Changing Market
Today's average couple is vastly different to what they were in recent years — needs have diversified, the demand for unique and tailored experiences has heightened, and communication preferences have changed significantly.
Understanding what inspires them, how they now approach research and decision-making, and how they prefer to communicate is critical to wedding businesses thriving in today's industry.
Join us for an afternoon of learning where our industry experts will dive deep into the minds of modern couples, uncover their motivations, and discover the new rules of engagement in wedding planning.
We will offer tangible sales and marketing strategies to help wedding businesses adapt and thrive in 2024, 2025 and beyond.
Plus free refreshments, networking opportunities, and a few surprises!
